There is a cable car connecting Mount Rokko on the Arima Onsen Mountain. During the cable car ride, you can see the natural landscape of emerald green and red maple trees on the mountain. When you reach the observation deck above, you can enjoy the unique scenery on the mountain. The densely packed buildings in the city are like models at your feet. The buildings on the mountain are also unique, mainly in Western style. When you play on the mountain, it feels like you are in a European town.

As the gateway to Mt. Rokko, it travels from Rokko Cable Shita Station to Rokko Sanjo Station, a distance of about 1.7 km with an elevation difference of 493.3 m, in about 10 minutes. There are two trains: the "Classic Type" and the "Retro Type". It is operated with two cars, a box-shaped car on the mountaintop side and an observation car on the mountainside, which is rare even in the world. I used it on a trip to Kobe. I got on the train, which is built at an angle, and went down at that angle. However, it was my first time riding this type of vehicle, so I was a little scared. #CoupleTrip #AmazingView #SupportTourism
